Abstract
A film carrier is incorporated in an image projecting apparatus and adapted to allow loading thereon of a microfilm of either of the roll film and sheet film types. This film carrier is provided with a base plate and a roll unit disposed as separated by a gap on the base plate and adapted to convey a roll film. A first moving member is disposed on the base plate in such a manner as to be moved both ways in the lateral direction of the image projecting apparatus. This first moving member is provided with a glass plate adapted to retain a stated image frame from the roll film in the part of the image projecting apparatus falling on a projected light path. Further, a second moving member is disposed on the base plate in such a manner as to be moved in the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction. This second moving member is provided with a glass plate for retaining a sheet film. The second moving member is caused to assume a retracting position when the glass plate of the first moving member is located at the position of the projected light path. The first moving member is caused to assume a retracting position when the glass plate of the second moving member is located at the position of the projected light path. The second moving member is locked at the retracting position.
